A luminous vintage Blanc de Blancs, between chiselled minerality and indulgent freshness.

With MK-157 Blanc de Blancs 2020, Erick Schreiber offers a very personal interpretation of Blanc de Blancs Champagne, fully aligned with his biodynamic philosophy.
His approach: to compose according to nature, highlighting the identity of the vintage and the terroir.

The name of this cuvée honours the Kimmeridgian soil from which it comes: MK for Kimmeridgian, and 157 for the 157 million years that separate us from the formation of these limestone marl soils, deposited during the sedimentation of a shallow sea.
This exceptional terroir brings finesse, salinity, and tension to the estate’s Champagnes.

The blend, deliberately unconventional, combines 73.5% Chardonnay, the preferred grape for this soil, with 26.5% Pinot Gris, a rare grape in Champagne.
Chardonnay gives the cuvée its brightness, minerality, and freshness.
Pinot Gris, chosen by the winemaker for its ability to add volume, texture, and subtle indulgence, expands the aromatic palette and gives the wine a unique presence on the palate.

The 2020 vintage, lively and precise, resulted in a wine marked by its minerality, freshness, and a hint of indulgence that defines the house style.
The long oak barrel ageing (73%) smooths the wine and offers remarkable aromatic complexity.
The Extra Brut dosage (3 g/L) allows the purity and tension of the wine to fully express themselves.

To reveal all its finesse, it is recommended to serve MK-157 at 8–10 °C, then allow the wine to gradually open up in the glass.
The ideal: a glass that is wide at the base and tapered at the top, which will concentrate the aromas and preserve the finesse of the bubbles.

This Blanc de Blancs is perfect as an aperitif, but fully reveals its potential at the table: with shellfish, fine fish, or aged cheeses.
